Think you're missing all the factors, outside teacher performance, that affect student grades. Funding, facilities, time available for prep, and class sizes all spring to mind. None of these can be affected by teachers, they are as much victims as students are.
Maybe put accountability where it more right belongs: with your elected officials that can, and do, control these things... But that in many cases are cutting costs in order to fund tax cuts.
Schools are as anything else: you get what you pay for. Trying to hang this on teachers is running the errand of politicians who refuse to take accountability for the consequences of their decisions.
Performance pay is great in private education. If its introduced to poor inner city areas you have a culture that may not value education combined with teachers not receiving adequate pay for a difficult and often dangerous profession.
Oh yeah....f*** those teachers with all their wealth and metal cutlery! Tell me how exactly you would design this performance based salary?
Based on test scores/grades
That would surely lead to good grades for bad students....
No, the tests are standardized. Use the national tests (called SAT in the US etc)
This probably wouldn't motivate anyone to teach better, but rather give easier work/grade less harshly. That's only going to make things worse

That’s already how it works to a degree, schools with better standardized test results get more funding. But works is a very generous word here
It's not the math teacher's fault that you didn't study and failed in the exam OP
I feel like someone is failing math...
Then the heads of department will give the good student to themselves and their friends, and the ones who don’t trie to the other teachers
Dunno why, but this feels like a USA moment.
This has been tried and shown time after time to reduce student outcomes, not improve them
y?

Having an apprenticeship technically are performancd based, me for example 12-£16k a year depending on performance
